Wholesale Program

• Wholesale Discount: Walnut Studiolo can fulfill large quantity orders with discounted prices to bicycle clubs and accepted vendors. Walnut Studiolo is a small, handcraft workshop that provides high-quality, hand-tooled, and unique designs. This means that we cannot provide progressively deeper discounts for larger orders, because we still have to make them all, by hand. Not all of our products are eligible for wholesale discounts, including website combo specials, so please read our Line List carefully. Our products that are eligible for wholesale are available for a 50% discount with a minimum purchase. Wholesale discounts are non-negotiable. They are calculated on the amount of materials and labor required for each item.  
  
  
• Wholesale Products:Web-specials and discounted combo pricing are not eligible for wholesale discounts. Some products, such as the Blueprint Tube, are not available for wholesale due to its labor-intensive hand-stitching process. Eligible products and prices are listed in the LINE LIST.
  
  

• Catalog: To request a Retailer Kit in the mail, please fill out this form HERE. 

• Minimum Order: To qualify for wholesale pricing, accepted wholesale vendors must submit first orders of a minimum $300 of our consumer goods (after discount) and no less than 3 of any one item (mixtures of color for each item are okay - for example, 3 pairs of city grips, 1 each of a different color) - and a minimum order of $1000 of our Drawer Pull collection. 

• Application Process: Walnut Studiolo requires new interested vendors to complete a short online application form prior to their first order. The application form is a Google form located HERE. We will contact you after receiving your application and notify, within 2 business days, whether you have been accepted.

• Acceptance: Please note that we have enacted the following guidelines for accepting vendors:

• Walnut Studiolo will exercise its discretion in accepting vendors. Completion of the application form is not a guarantee of acceptance. 

• Being an accepted vendor is not a guarantee that we can fulfill all orders, depending on workload and current turnaround time. We will let you know as soon as possible if we cannot.

• Walnut Studiolo encourages all brick & mortar vendors to apply. Conversely, it is highly selective of fellow internet-based vendors. 
  
  

• Lead Time and Stock Quantity:It depends on your order! In the Line List, we have a column indicating turnaround time as "Fast, Medium, or Slow" - generally this indicates how regularly and how fast we make batches of each product, and it is a reflection mostly of the amount of labor time and hand-stitching involved with each product. We keep a small stock of most of our items. If we have it in stock, we can turn it around in 1-3 business days. Small out-of-stock quantities can be turned around in 1-2 weeks. Large quantities are made to order. For large wholesale orders, we require a lead time of approximately one month, more or less, depending on our current work queue. We can provide an estimate or information on inventory for you if you have specific questions, just email us at walnut.b2b@gmail.com.

• Samples:As the maker of handcrafted items using an expensive material, we do not provide free samples. If you would like to put in a sample order as an accepted vendor, we will extend the wholesale discounts to your sample order. 
  
  

• Blackout Times: Walnut Studiolo will only accept wholesale orders between January 1-October 15 due to the busy holiday online shopping season. Please put in your holiday orders early! 

• Packaging:In the Line List, we have a column indicating which products come with retail packaging included.  

• Hang Tags:We can provide one branded hangtag per product in each order upon request. To order additional hangtags, please email us at walnut.b2b@gmail.com. 

• UPC/EAN Bar Codes: Yes! We now have UPC/EAN bar codes. UPC/EAN codes are listed as a column in our Line List.

• Product Specs:More information about our products, including shipping weight and dimensions, can be found in the Line List.  

• Shipping: We can ship with regular post using the US Postal Service, FedEx domestically, or DHL Express internationally. We are able to ship using your preferred carrier's account number if you prefer. Please let us know of any deadlines so we can recommend the best shipping service. We can provide an exact shipping estimate once we have an order. We cannot offer free shipping on wholesale orders, regardless of size. 

• Payment Terms: Walnut Studiolo requires payment in full prior to beginning work.   
  

• Methods of Payment: PayPal or credit card are preferred. Checks and wire transfers accepted, but with a 10-day waiting period to ensure the payment clears prior to the order being sent. 

• Wholesale Program: This wholesale program and pricing are evolving and will be reviewed and revised from time to time, at least every January and every time a new product is launched. Please sign up for our wholesale news list if you'd like to be kept informed.
